This is a guide to the Luck (Lck) Stat in Shin Megami Tensei III HD Remaster (SMT Nocturne) for the Switch, PS4, and Steam! Read on to learn what is Luck, what is the effect of Luck, and should you raise your Luck stat.
List of Contents
As of now, it is still unclear what the Luck stat does for the Demi-Fiend. We will update this page as soon as possible when new info about the luck stat has been confirmed.
| Drops | Drops don't get any significant amount of changes so it is confirmed that luck doesn't affect item drop rates at all from enemies. |
|---|---|
| Macca and EXP | The amount of Macca and EXP you gain per battle is not affected by luck. If you wish to farm Macca and EXP, it is suggested to just make your character stronger so you can eliminate enemy mobs faster. |
| Critical Strike Chance | Critical strike chances are not affected by luck. Contrary to popular belief, it is better to invest in Str or Mag if you wish to deal more damage. |
The Luck stat can be raised by spending skill points when the Demi-Fiend levels up. Sometimes, when a magatama acts violently during a level up, it can even grant you a random bonus stat point!
Magatama each give different boosts to the Demi-Fiend's stats. Swapping equipped magatama can raise the Lck stat when certain ones are equipped. For example, the Iyomante Magatama gives a +3 bonus to Lck.
Stats can also be permanently raised outside of leveling-up by using an item called Incense.
Incense, when consumed, grants 1 extra point to their associated stat. For example, Luck Incense raises Lck. by 1.
Incenses can be obtained from shops by getting 10 lucky tickets and availing the box prizes from the junk shop!
While Luck can show it's true colors later in the game, we do not recommend raising this stat for early game.
It offers no damage or loot bonus meaning that, despite leveling up, Luck players will remain severely underpowered throughout their playthrough.
